PostDock for YouTubers: Schedule to X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Mastodon from

Schedule to X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Mastodon from your own box — pay once.

YouTubers pay monthly for screen recording, captions, clipping and scheduling before the channel earns a cent. One-time tools fix the cost of production at the price of a single video's ad revenue.

The tool this job usually means renting is Buffer, at $6/channel/mo — roughly $360 a year, every year. PostDock does the job for a one-time $129 — running on infrastructure you control.
